Four out of the five surviving police officers shot by soldiers of 93 Battalion, Ibi in Taraba State, on the orders of their Commanding Officer, Captain Balarabe Tijani, have been discharged from hospital.
It was gathered that the four police officers, who were rushed to Abuja from Taraba State after the August 6 attack by soldiers, were discharged over the weekend from an undisclosed hospital, where they had been receiving treatment. However, one of them is still in the hospital, where he is said to be recovering and may be discharged soon.
It was gathered further that the officers have been reunited with their families, while those who are serving with the Taraba State Command have been flown back to the state.
The wounded personnel were flown to Abuja, and rushed to a medical facility, where they were kept at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), due to the seriousness of their condition and were moved to the wards after they showed signs of recovery.
Sources disclosed that four out of the five injured men have been discharged, leaving one officer, who is fast recovering and would soon leave the hospital.
Meanwhile, pathologists have commenced post-mortem examination on the bodies of the three officers killed during the incident, and are expected to release the result of their report in the coming days.
